EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Patrick Ruthven, a prominent figure during the English Civil War, who served as a general for King Charles I and was later created Earl of Brentford in 1642. The image is taken from "Portraits of characters illustrious in British History from the beginning of the reign of Henry the Eighth to the end of the reign of James the Second," published in London in 1815 by Samuel Woodburn. Ruthven, also known as the 1st Earl of Brentford and the 1st Earl of Forth, is shown here wearing ornate apparel and armor, typical of the seventeenth century. The black and white engraving captures the serious and determined expression on his face, reflecting his role as a military commander during the Bishops' War and the First English Civil War. The portrait offers a glimpse into the fashion of the time, with Ruthven's clothing and dress adhering to the conventions of the era. The image also serves as a reminder of the complex political landscape of the seventeenth century, marked by conflict and power struggles, as evidenced by Ruthven's involvement in the Thirty Years' War and his allegiance to the royalist cause. Despite the unknown creator of this portrait, it remains an important historical artifact, providing valuable insight into the people and events that shaped British history during this tumultuous period. The intricate details of Ruthven's attire and the somber tone of the image underscore the weight of responsibility and duty that came with holding a position of power during times of war and political upheaval.
